IBM Planning Analytics Workspace Settings: DIM Editor Page Size

April 15, 2025

Have you ever edited a large dimension in IBM Planning Analytics Workspace and found that you are forced to repeatedly scroll through a list to see the full dimension? This may be because you are only looking at 200 elements at a time.

Did you know that you can control how many elements initially load when the dimension editor is opened and each time a new page is refreshed? There are two ways to do this. One approach is to manually define the setting within the dimension editor. This is done by clicking on the settings icon and modifying the option for Page size.

The second approach is to always have this value defined. Users with the Administrator, Modeler, or Analyst role can use the Settings editor to define global settings. To modify this setting, click on your username at the top right corner of Planning Analytics Workspace, select the option for Profile and Settings, and then select the option for Settings. The page size definition is found within the Dimension Editor section. After modifying this setting, the value will be set by default within the dimension editor screen. Users can still manually change the option, if preferred.
